Chapter 72: Dali Royal Family Loses Face

Hearing this, everyone's eyes unconsciously fell on Duan Zhengming.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Mu was speechless.

Are these people stupid?
If Duan Zhengming was able to have children, would he still need to seek adoption of Duan Yu?
Duan Zhengming's face turned pale. He was aware of his own illness. Although he didn't say it explicitly, the current situation of Dali Kingdom was clear at a glance. These guys were looking at him. What else could they do but be brainless?
But he couldn't open his mouth to explain!
"Outside Tianlong Temple, on a rainy night, a beauty surrenders herself, even gods can't save her!"

Zhao Mu spoke softly, and Duan Yanqing, who was standing beside him, was shocked when he heard this.

"is her?"

"Your Highness, how do you know...?"

Duan Yanqing stepped forward tremblingly. Over the years, he had been looking for the woman who had saved him but also taken his heart away.

But this has always been his deepest secret, how could Zhao Mu know it?
"Aren't you looking for that person? I can tell you clearly that person is Dao Baifeng! Duan Yu's mother!"

"And you are Duan Yu's father!"

As soon as Zhao Mu said this, the whole hall fell silent!
No one could believe that this ugly guy in front of them was actually Duan Yu’s biological father?

How can this be?

"Impossible! Yu'er is my child!"

Duan Zhengchun roared angrily. Duan Yu on the side was completely confused at the moment. He looked at the people present in a daze, but felt that these people were so unfamiliar.

"You don't believe it? It's very simple! Just let them test their blood relationship!"

Zhao Mu turned around and glanced at Duan Zhengchun.

The idea of ​​identifying kinship through blood testing has essentially no scientific basis, but these people still believe in it.

No matter who Duan Yu uses the blood test to certify his kinship with, the result will be that they are reunited.

Therefore, Zhao Mu could only have Duan Yanqing and Duan Yu do a blood test to recognize their relationship first, so that these people would naturally confirm their relationship.

Hearing this, Duan Yu's face was full of resistance. He didn't want to accept all this, and Duan Zhengchun also strongly opposed it.

But Duan Zhengming was eager to know all this, because he absolutely could not allow the Duan family's kingdom to fall into the hands of others.

Duan Zhengming grabbed Duan Yu and took out the blood from his fingertips. Duan Yanqing, who was far away, saw this and hurried over.

Compared with others, he cares more about Duan Yu's identity.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the two drops of blood mixing in the bowl.

What Zhao Mu said was actually true?
How could the Dali royal family make such a joke?

The son that Duan Zhengchun had raised for so many years turned out to be not his biological son?

"No, I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

Duan Yu couldn't accept all this and rushed out with a roar. Duan Yanqing was about to chase him but was stopped by Zhao Mu.

"Let Yun Zhonghe go!" Zhao Mu said. Although Duan Yanqing was worried, he still did not dare to disobey Zhao Mu's order.

He gave a wink to Yun Zhonghe who was standing beside him, and Yun Zhonghe immediately followed him out.

But Duan Zhengchun was completely desperate at this time.

His dream of becoming emperor was shattered. Since Duan Yu was not his biological son, he could no longer inherit the throne of Dali, nor could he become the emperor emeritus.

"what goes around comes around!"

Zhao Mu glanced at Duan Zhengchun, turned around and helped Zhong Wanchou up. He did not reveal Zhong Ling's life experience. This was also a little compensation to Zhong Wanchou!

Duan Zhengming took his people away. Today, the Dali royal family had lost face, and there was no need for him to stay here any longer.

Moreover, the Dali royal family currently has no heirs, so he must make arrangements as soon as possible.

After everyone left, Zhong Wanchou was still deeply saddened.

Although he knew what Gan Baobao had done, he did not hate Gan Baobao.

He gave up everything just to seek justice for Gan Baobao, but now Gan Baobao is dead.

He seemed to have lost the motivation to live in an instant. "Your Highness Prince Mu, please take good care of Ling'er!"

Zhong Wanchou leaned against Gan Baobao, looking as if he had lost his soul.

"Master Zhong, don't worry!"

At this time, Zhong Ling was still locked in the room, and she had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

Zhao Mu also didn't want this girl to endure all this.

Hearing Zhao Mu's agreement, Zhong Wanchou lowered his head silently. The next second, he vomited blood and stopped breathing.

He died, accompanying the wife to whom he had devoted his whole life, in a love tragedy.

If Zhao Mu didn't stop him, perhaps he would have become a walking corpse if he were still alive.

Zhao Mu took Zhong Ling away from Wanjie Valley, as if nothing had happened here. Zhong Ling was still the lively and active girl. Zhao Mu did not tell her what happened here.

"Your Highness, the boss asked me to give this to you!"

Yue Lao San stopped Zhao Mu on the road and handed him a token!
"The eldest brother said that if His Highness needs anything, he can be ordered around at will. The four of us brothers will follow His Highness' lead!"

Although the four evil men are notorious, they are loyal and righteous to each other.

Duan Yanqing has already decided to follow Zhao Mu, and they are no exception.

"He went to find Duan Yu?" Zhao Mu's subordinate asked casually!
"Yes! I never thought that the boy was actually the eldest son. Now that I think about it, shouldn't I call the eldest master Grandpa? What a loss!"

Yue Laosan muttered to himself, looking conflicted!
"You two can talk about your own things from now on. You call him Grandmaster, and he calls you Third Brother!"

Zhao Mu almost laughed when he saw Yue Lao San, who was still struggling with his seniority.

Maybe this guy is the only one who is always so carefree.

"Am I still at a loss, aren't I?" Yue Lao San lowered his head in confusion, then turned around and said goodbye.

"Your Highness, where are we going now?"

Zhong Ling stuck her head out of the carriage.

"Go to Xixia!"

Zhao Mu said something, jumped into the carriage and continued on his way.

Zhao Mu had previously learned a lot about Xixia from Duan Yanqing.

The Western Xia Kingdom now has no emperor, and the Queen Mother is in charge.

And that empress dowager was Li Qiushui, the wife of Wuyazi of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Zhao Mu now possesses the Bei Ming Divine Art. If he can use this disguise to gain Li Qiu Shui's trust and take Xixia into his possession, then this will be a great help to him.

Moreover, the Western Xia Kingdom has no crown prince and the Queen Mother has only one daughter. This is a good opportunity for Zhao Mu.

After a bumpy journey, it took more than half a month for Zhao Mu to finally reach the territory of Western Xia.

Western Xia was connected to Bashu in the south, Northern Liang in the east, Northern Mang in the north, and Tubo in the west. It was surrounded by powerful enemies.

The fact that they have been able to survive all these years is enough to show that Western Xia was extremely powerful.

After leaving Shu, the Hanzhong Plain is in the distance.

The peaks of the mountains gradually fell behind us.

Go further and the road will be smooth.

In the evening, Zhao Mu came to a small town and planned to rest there for a night.

As soon as they sat down, they saw a few strange-looking people walking into the inn.

"I wonder if Brother Zhuo has arrived yet?"

"The news this time should be correct. Tong Lao is missing. We can use this opportunity to attack Lingjiu Palace!"
